Hello, my name is Joshua I am the homeschool kid.
Today I am going to tell you about my chores on the homestead.
- I mow the lawn.
Mowing the lawn is a big chore because we have a big homestead.
And because we have a big homestead I sometimes forget what I have mowed and what I haven't. And I remember that by drawing a map of the homestead. And I draw numbers on each field of grass so I know which day I need to mow each field. - I feed and water the animals.
We have one cow and four sheep. They drink a lot of water. Especially because it is summer time. I only give the sheep feed when they are low on grass. And when they are low on grass I have to give them more water too. I have to give them more water because they get half of their water from the grass they eat. - I water the banana trees.
Probably you are thinking "You can't grow banana trees in Arkansas." But it is possible.
People even grow banana trees in Canada! This is how they keep them warm in the winter.
First they put high fencing all around the plant. Then they pile it up with mulch and straw. Then they put a big black plastic bag on top. - I harvest from the garden.
In the summer, one of my chores is to pick veggies from the garden. And my mom usually asks me to pick papalo and tomatoes because we love pico de gallo. - I do whatever else my mom and dad tell me to do.
